Last week we held our first ever College Week for juniors! College week covered storytelling, career exploration, interview prep, and a college visit to @LFCollegeCollege week would not have been possible without the generosity of volunteers who donated their time and talents! pic.twitter.com/2BNRUqnAeR

College visits are essential in putting together a list of where a student will apply during their senior year. To help out our juniors with their list, we took them to visit @LFCollege! pic.twitter.com/JjpTjm8IWw

For our first of two workshops this month we spent some time learning about the basics of budgeting. Budgeting and preparing for college go hand in hand, and it was a great way to get the conversation about budgeting started! pic.twitter.com/Kq63QIQxMZ

We spent the morning at @kenoshamuseums yesterday learning all about paleontology, what goes into curating, and a bit about the history of games. It was a great way to spend a day off from school and the students enjoyed all of the activities! pic.twitter.com/f059ftgF8N
